Subject:      '84 Tach upgrade THANKS
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

A message of thanks to all who responded to the recent
messages about this upgrade.  By using the various
messages to make sense of each other, I was able to do
the upgrade without too much trouble.  I ran a green
wire from the coil to the dash area by parallelling
the main loom under the vehicle.  I slipped the wire
into the harness loops and was even able to string it
over the fuel tank using a flexible-grabby-tool thing.
After figuring out that I had to combine a couple of
the original wires, it works great.  Even the little
clock and light work.  About the only complaint is the
overall condition of the cluster, a little more
brittle than the one in my '84.  However, now I have
spare LEDs and other bits, and the new cluster came
with a fog light switch.

If nothng else, it'll be nice to be able to see what
the rpms are during any repairs without hooking up my
external tach tool.

Again thanks to all.
